The proposed Modification No. M07 to Human Care Agreement No. CW119478 seeks to extend the contract with The National Center for Children and Families, Inc. for an additional year, from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,866,008.08. This extension allows the organization to continue providing essential services at a short-term family housing site for families experiencing homelessness in the District of Columbia. The funding for this contract has been certified as consistent with the District's financial plan and budget for Fiscal Year 2027. Additionally, the modification includes administrative changes, such as updating the Contracting Officer's contact information and incorporating the latest wage determination from the U.S. Department of Labor, which raises the living wage to $18.40 per hour effective July 1, 2026.

The bill also outlines the financial provisions for the operation of a residential facility known as The Sterling, located at 1700 Rhode Island Ave NE, Washington, DC. It details the costs associated with various staff positions, including Program Directors, Case Managers, Operations Managers, and Residential Aides, across multiple option periods, with the total estimated costs for the entire contract amounting to $14,591,128.12. The pricing is contingent upon the availability of funding and includes specific references to sections of existing law, such as C.3.5.16, which governs staffing and operational costs. The bill specifies maximum reimbursement amounts for furniture replacement and outlines fixed and reimbursable rates for services provided at the site, reflecting structured financial planning necessary for the facility's operation.
